Question 1077746: Two dice, each with four faces marked 1,2,3,4 are thrown together.
(a)What is the most likely total score on the faces pointing downwards?
(b) What is the probability of obtaining this score on three successive throws

There are 16 outcomes
1/16 each for 11, 22,33,44
1/16 for score 2
2/16 for score 3
3/16 for score 4
4/16 for score 5
3/16 for score 6
2/16 for score 7
1/16 for score 8
the most common score is a 5, with probability 1/4, and the probability of getting that three times in a row is (1/4)^3=1/64.
